Angus has been with the same guy for 10 years. When his boyfriend breaks up with him the night of his 30th birthday party and announces his engagement to a 22-year-old less than 10 hours later, Angus is a mess. To put it lightly. He spends days in bed, drinks himself into a stupor every night, and ends up losing his job and his apartment. His best and oldest friend, Reece, decides it's time for an intervention. And a change of scenery.
Reece and Angus take off on a buddy trip across the US. They don t have much of a plan; they just start driving. It takes Angus a couple of days to do much more than grunt when Reece talks to him, but slowly he opens up. They drive, talk, heal, shout, drink a bit too much sometimes, dance, meet new friends and somewhere between Portland, Oregon, and Portland, Maine, they fall in love.
Which was the last thing in the world Angus expected.

"Sweet friends to lovers romance"
MJ O Shea wrote a beautiful, friends to Lovers story. Her characters were lifelike and the storyline sweet and fun.
Angus is such a sweet loveable character. I wanted to hug him so many times. Reece is his best friend from childhood and he and Reece are very close though Angus boyfriend Brad is a butthole and tries to keep them apart as much as he can.
When Brad breaks up with Angus on his thirtieth birthday then announce his engagement to a younger version of Angus, Anus falls apart.He shuts out his friends and family. Finally, Reece has enough and takes Angus on a road trip cross country.
I loved the characters in this story. they were so realistic. I also liked that both men's families were loving and accepting and there were no bigots in this story. The storyline is sweet and fun. I felt like I was in the backseat of the car with them seeing all the beautiful sights.
My only issue was with the narration. Though I loved that Robbie D brought great life to the story, I didn't care for Angus' voice. To me, it was much too girly and stereotypically gay sounding. Now having said that, I do realize that is Angus character's personality.
If you like a sweet, fun, friends-to-lovers romance, beautiful scenery, and mostly off-page sex this is for you.

Hi everyone! I’m Mj O’Shea:) I grew up, and still live, in sunny Washington state and while I love to visit other places, I can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. I spent my childhood writing stories. Sometime in my early teens, the stories turned to romance. Most of those were about me, my friends, and our favorite movie and pop stars. Hopefully, I’ve come a long way since then.
When I’m not writing, I love to play the piano, dance, cook, paint pictures, and of course read! I have two little dogs who sit with me when I write. Sometimes they comes up with ideas for me too…when they’re not busy napping.
